(the next 2 were shot by jackie...figured i'd add them since i'm never in photos. :))

one thing that i found extremely helpful from the time outin delano was how quickly i was COLD. don't get me wrong, i'm not a wimp in the cold. i'd much rather have cold weather than hot. but when i'm cold, i shake. bad.

shaking and photos don't mix.

when i loaded my photos, 70% had visible camera shake in them. man, i was mad. lesson learned.

i think i'll be taking a break from shooting outside til it's a tad warmer!!!

here are a few of the shots i did get, minus camera shake. :)

i've known ashley since she was about 6. when her mom asked if i would do her SENIOR photos i said, "sure! it's a little early, though. she has 4 more years til she's a senior." apparently not. :)

for as long as i've known her, she has been quiet and shy. i use to wave at her when she was in grade school or say "hi" after church and she was either already hiding behind her mom or heading towards her after my 'hello'. :)

so for me, seeing shy ashley open up during our shoot was so much fun.

did i mention it was windy??

that's 'cause it wasn't.

it was suuuper windy.

thanks to ashley(and her mom and niece) for coming out on the windiest day of the year. :)
